Dos fdisk should be able to see all your partitions. It will show them as type "unknown". You should be able to delete the partitions and start over. If you still have problems try booting from a Linux bootdisk and run fdisk from there. Don't forget to run "fdisk /mbr" in dos to remove LILO from your master boot record (if you have LILO installed).

UUIDD(8) System Administration UUIDD(8)
NAME
uuidd - UUID generation daemon
SYNOPSIS
uuidd [options]
DESCRIPTION
The uuidd daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time-based UUIDs, in a secure
and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs.
OPTIONS
-d Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running as a daemon.
-h, --help
Display help screen and exit.
-k, --kill
If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
-n, --uuids number
When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a bulk response of number UUIDs.
-p, --pid path
Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default, the pid file is written to /var/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid.
-q Suppress some failure messages.
-r, --random
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a random-based UUID.
-s, --socket path
Specify the pathname used for the unix-domain socket used by uuidd. By default, the pathname used is /var/run/uuidd/request. This
is primarily for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid library.
-T, --timeout timeout
Specify a timeout for uuidd. If specified, then uuidd will exit after timeout seconds of inactivity.
-t, --time
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a time-based UUID.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLE
Start up a daemon, print 42 random keys, and then stop the daemon.
uuidd -p /tmp/uuidd.pid -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
uuidd -d -r -n 42 -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
uuidd -d -k -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
AUTHOR
The uuidd daemon was written by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.
AVAILABILITY
The uuidd daemon is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
